Les Miles revisited thru 2013 and projection for 2014

I have no issue w Miles the man and the coach. He's done MORE for LSU than anyone in his time here. He's the best recruiter in the business along side our previous coach. Sometimes 2nd best is not a bad option. I think Coach Miles just needs a good dual option QB (or at least one that can pass and run when needed) to succeed in the national picture. We have not had than since Perriloux.
If 2014 recruiting haul is half of what is projected and we have a dual threat QB then nationally we are back in contention. This year was a rebuilding year and everyone knew it - losing that many underclassman to NFL would have been devastating to any other program.
We've lost 3 games to 3 VERY quality teams at their stadium - with quality effort in every game. So what if we're not in top 10.
The goal is to win the national championship and keep your program strong! If Mett can play against A&M he should. If Jennings can play to help promote 2014 season then by all means put him in the game! If Jennings gets quality reps from here on in then 2014 could be special. I'm sure Miles is on top of this! His job is secure - for at least another season. Geaux Tigers!

Les Miles is not perfect. This may be a shock to some, but Saban isn't either. Programs struggle from time to time, but one thing we've had with Miles is pretty damn good consistency. We've never had a "choke" year under Miles, like Auburn being 3-9 (0-8) or Florida this year. We've been relevant ever since he's been here, and people quickly forget the 13-1 season just two years ago.

Eta: Im more of a CLM supporter than not, but to say that the team that Ole Miss fielded that night was a quality team is just false. We made them appear to be a quality team.

Was NOT quality effort @ OM, CLM even admitted so!
UGA was best effort except for D, Bama 2nd half was NOT quality effort by OL (see Mett crawling like a baby at the end)!
CLM will not put him in vs ATM for any quality reps and not sure what he is on top of except about 4.5 Million.
That said I expect us to not finish 2nd on the 23rd or 29th! LOL

Sounds like CLM is talking here.

And this is all that matters, really. If you played hard and lost to a good team, then you have no right to complain.

Everyone begged for a pocket passing quarterback. Since this year's defense and offensive line sucks, everyone wants to go back to a dual threat quarterback. Mettenberger has actually done pretty damn good with the offensive line he has to work with. But hey, LSU is full of fair weather fans who will turn on a player with one bad game.

Ole Miss wasn't a quality team. They were decimated with injuries. I will give them credit. They wanted it more than LSU did. Miles is the Pope right. Except when he speaks on matters of football he is infallible. I don't agree that you have to have a dual threat QB to be effective. Bama won 3 of 4 titles proving that formula wrong. They may win another this year. It's all about balance and who surrounds your QB. If you don't have a stud QB that can carry your team then you better have a good supporting cast. Bama has that and don't have the ups and downs some programs do when they rely too heavily on 1 player.

Does anyone else besides me know that the word "quality" by itself means nothing without another word describing it? Words like good, bad, high, low?

100% disagree!

I thought the stated goal by the AD was "It is not about winning championships but being in the hunt for Championships". Your goals and those of the AD do not match. I agree with your goals in respect to winning championships is the only goal. But don't agree that being 2nd is sometimes not a bad option. Doesn't agree with your goal of winning championships. Finishing 2nd gets you no championships.

saban did as much in 5 years as Less has done in 9.
epic fail
you clearly do not GAF about performance, preparation, discipline or management if you feel the way you do and you clearly like him crapping the bed annually to a team he should not lose to save for the anomally season in 2011, but of course he quit on his team on 1-9, do you approve that also?
